the hotel is near several restaurants (i liked the korean bbq place around the corner). a supermarket is also located right next door, which i found very convenient. the room was quite nice and the amenities provided were good.

The room was small. the hanging rack was tiny and not very practical at all. the air conditioning did not seem very effective. The room was always warm, even after setting it to 18 degrees.
